Can't speak for the rest of the bike, but that could be the tape peeling back as it seems to follow the line of the tape which is still attached to the frame.

Regardless, that BB cluster is attached to the rest of the bike and as @fredtc pointed out, it is definitely fucked.

Some nasty chain drop but I'd 100% ride it. Carbon isn't nearly as fragile as everyone imagines

Chainstays are fine, just covered in selotape
